Strategies for a Faster Marathon Preparation

Hoping to get faster at the marathon and reach a personal best?

So is Nick Jordan, a member of Team Strength Running.

Nick joined this coaching program in order to most effectively use his time and effort to get the best possible chance of reaching a marathon personal best.

We talked about what he can do in the remaining months to stack the deck in his favor.

Team Strength Running is a program that includes ongoing coaching directly from me, access to a team of other runners just like you, a library of 30+ training plans, a whole bunch of discounts, bonus resources, and more.

In this coaching call, we talk about:

• How Nick ramped up from casual, inconsistent runner to marathon finisher
• The state of marathon training 17 weeks out from the race
• Training for a 3:30 marathon with five runs a week and needed adjustments
• Long runs and speed work for a faster marathon
• Jason's recommendations for marathon training long run progression
• Tips for running doubles and splitting up mileage
• Using another, shorter race to practice for a goal race
• Avoiding hitting the wall with marathon nutrition

Thank you Previnex!

After resisting most supplements for the better part of my life, I’m cautiously changing my tune. I’m now a Masters runner and in my personal life, I’m optimizing for longevity. I want to be my healthiest self for as long as possible and I’m excited to partner with Previnex to make that happen.

Previnex uses the most bioavailable, clinically tested ingredients, the optimal form and dose of each ingredient, pharmaceutical grade manufacturing, testing of raw ingredients and finished products. For every purchase you make, they also donate vitamins to kids in need.

Their new Muscle Health Plus is something I'm now taking. Turning 40 - and having a thin frame - has made me realize that I need to prioritize lean muscle mass to stay healthy and age well. Muscle Health Plus has creatine, essential and branched chain amino acids, and it's designed in a way to maximize protein synthesis and the absorption of amino acids.

Muscle Health Plus will help you prevent muscle damage, which is particularly important for aging runners who want to protect themselves from muscle loss and recover faster after hard workouts. As is true for all of their products, Previnex adheres to the highest of standards: their ingredients are clinically proven to do what they say they’re going to do.

Previnex offers a 30-day money back guarantee.They’re now offering international shipping so if you live in the UK, Canada, Australia, or anywhere around the world, you can try Previnex as well. If you don't feel the benefits of their product, you get your money back no questions asked.
